This day in history!
1797 - Nathaniel Briggs patented a washing machine
And promoptly told his wife that washing the clothes wasn't his job.
1885 - The Salvation Army was officially organized in the U.S.
Officially undefeated in all wars since then too.
1908 - Automobile owners lobbied the U.S. Congress, supporting a bill that called for vehicle licensing and federal registration.
Then, in 1909, the first person to complain about the cost of renewing his license was recorded.
1941 - The Italian fleet was defeated by the British at the Battle of Matapan.
Probably brought down by the Salvation Army.
1962 - The U.S. Air Force announced research into the use of lasers to intercept missiles and satellites.
And somewhere Ronald Reagan had an orgasm.
1974 - A streaker ran onto the set of "The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson."
And that streakers name? Paul Harvey!
1979 - A major accident occurred at Pennsylvania's Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. A nuclear power reactor overheated and suffered a partial meltdown.
Oddly the same thing happned to me on this date once.
1990 - Jesse Owens received the Congressional Gold Medal from U.S. President George Bush.
But he had to catch him first!

Sunshine Day
Its the first few days of Spring!
Some say the first Blue Jay, or the first Redbird is their sign of Spring.
Mine was finding an empty beer bottle on the table on our deck!
That meant we were starting to use the deck again! LOL!
Others also try to balance an egg on end during the equinox.
I've said before that one of the joys of living is Southwest PA is having all four defined season.
So as we walked outside this morning I was renewed myself as I saw all the birds and the buds on the trees.
Weather permitting I encourage everyone to head out and take a breath of fresh air this weekend...and take some time reflect on the change in the seasons and the renewal of life.
There is always hope.
No matter how dark and long the night seems, daylight will come eventually.
Well, until the sun burns out...but you get my point!

Everlasting Love
Another Thursday, another episode of Jeff and Glenn @ 10!
This weeks topic was on-line dating horror stories so we kicked it off with Natalie Cole and Everlasting Love.
Jeff was kind enough to share some stories about his experiences with computer dating before we went to the Top 9 Worst lines on dating profiles!
Later a new feature was started as Icepick called in with his Entertainment Report.
Icepick stayed on line as we had a couple callers, including one of the worst online dating stories any of us had ever heard!
After the show stopped streaming Jeff and I wrapped things up (you can hear that part by downloading the podcast or listening on the site) and called it a week!
Tune in every Thursday at 10 at www.blogtalkradio.com/My_World!

Sleepwalking
So just for fun I decided to test Google.
I wanted to see what the most obscure thing I could find was.
I ended up doing a search for:
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
(You count them)
I got 90 results! LOL!
I would have gone further but Google said that adding another "z" made the word too long and I should try a shorter one!
Just for giggles.
Enjoy!

Video Killed the Radio Star
(Click on the title above to hear the second episode of Jeff and Glenn @ 10!)
We kicked off the show with another classic! "Ain't No Crime" by billy Joel and featured on the Piano Man album!
As usual the conversation flowed from Facebook and the new changes in the homepages to the Penguins and I bored Jeff to sleep while ranting about Glenn Beck and politics in general!
We had a brand new Top 9 list...which turned in to a top 8 when I found I I used the same one twice! (Darn editors!)
"People I Hate" returned and this week Brad Jolie, sorry...Pitt was the guest of honor!
Also we had a call from a young lady who is promoting Congenital Heart Defect Awareness. Her two-year old son has already had several operations and she will be calling back in the future to tell her story!
We'll be back on the Internets next week and look forward to hearing from you!
Enjoy!

Deadbeat club
So I heard today that Paul Harvey died.
So time for my Paul Harvey stories:
I was forced to listen to his drivel for well over a year as I hosted a radio program in the mid 90's.
At some point I realized that his "News and Comment" was more comment than news so I started calling it "News and Rumor".
Yes, I got told to stop that by the station.
So then our news man Norm (RIP) starts a story about Paul being a cross dresser and how it was widely known but the mainstream media would never talk about it.
We even went as far as to say how it probably allowed a bunch of mid-western conservatives feel open enough to admit their own cross-dressing.
Kind of an inside joke but it amused us...lol.
Anyway, he's gone now and I attemtpt to not speak ill of the dead so that wil be that.
